    英语中有少数可数名词的复数构成是不规则的。

  1. 改变元音字母,如:
   foot — feet        goose — geese
   tooth — teeth       mouse — mice
   man — men        woman — women
   gentleman — gentlemen  policewoman — policewomen

  2. 词尾变化,如:
   child — children ox — oxen

  3. 单复数同形,如:
   deer      sheep    means
   series     species    Swiss
   jin(斤)    li(里)   yuan(元)

   –ese结尾的国名也同形,如:
   Chinese   Japanese    Portuguese

  4. 有些外来词仍保留原来的复数形式,如:
   analysis — analyses (分析)
   basis — bases (基础)
   crisis — crises (危机)
   criterion — criteria (标准)
   diagnosis — diagnoses (诊断)
   phenomenon — phenomena (现象)
   stratum — strata (阶层)
   thesis — theses (论文)
